According to Ass, Rodrigo's future at Real Madrid is not yet clear, and he will wait to talk to new coach Alonso before deciding on the future. The Brazilian did not take the initiative to leave, but he performed poorly at the end of the season and was placed on the bench by Ancelotti, coupled with muscle problems, which made him miss the final rounds of the league. Rodrigo is currently recovering from his health in Valdebebas, and his goal is to compete in the Club World Cup and support Alonso.
However, things may vary in the future, and Rodrigo already had some doubts at the end of the 2023/24 season. He was a main player that season and played an important role in Real Madrid winning the double championship of La Liga and Champions League.
But he realized that Mbappe's arrival might reduce his chances of playing, so in an interview with DAZN, he expressed uncertainty about his future: "Everything is possible, I have a contract here, but I have had a good few years here, I always want to stay in this club, but..."
Despite this, Rodrigo stayed and formed a forward trident with Vinicius and Mbappe. But soon he encountered setbacks: he was dissatisfied with seeing himself not in the pictures of Bellingham, Vinicius and Mbappe. His performance was not satisfactory. Although he had highlights, he also experienced a long slump and scored only 13 goals throughout the season.
Ancelotti always trusted him until the end he switched to the 442 formation, allowing Mbappe and Vinicius to serve as strikers. At this time, rumors began to arise about Rodrigo's possible departure, but no action has been taken yet. However, he has attracted the interest of many Premier League clubs, especially Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City, and Guardiola has expressed his love for the Brazilian player many times.
Now it all depends on his conversation with Alonso, and Rodrigo hopes to learn from Alonso about the overall plan of the team and his role in it, including whether the new tactical system is suitable for him and whether he can give him enough playing time. Rodrigo hasn't made a decision and things won't change until he talks with Alonso.
Alonso already knows this situation. When asked about Rodrigo at the press conference, he said: "He is a Real Madrid player, and I will communicate with all the players because they deserve such a conversation. He is a very good player and we need him."
Alonso's task is a dual: on the one hand, make sure Rodrigo is ready for the Club World Cup, and on the other hand, convince him to stay at Real Madrid through conversations. This will be another chapter, which will not be revealed until the time is ripe.
